For the person whose heart belongs to a Springer. 🐾❤️
This lovely hand painted Black & White Springer Spaniel ceramic heart decoration features a rather handsome Springer sitting patiently in the snow, wrapped up for winter in a cosy striped scarf.
The distinctive black and white markings, long floppy ears and little spotted details have all been individually hand painted by me in my Shropshire studio, while raised white ceramic details create the snowy ground and falling snow.
Finished with a white organza ribbon for hanging, it would make a lovely Springer Spaniel gift, Christmas decoration or keepsake for someone who shares their home – and probably most of their sofa – with a Springer!
Size & Details: Approximate size 11cm x 12cm, plus approximately 10cm ribbon. Individually hand painted in my Shropshire studio.
Why is this a Super Second?
This Springer Spaniel heart is joining my Super Seconds Festival because the glaze developed crazing during firing.
Crazing appears as very fine lines within the glazed surface. It doesn't affect the charm or use of the decoration, but it does mean it doesn't meet the standard I require for my full-priced ceramics.
Please note that crazing is notoriously difficult to photograph. The fine lines can be almost invisible in some lighting and may only become noticeable when the glaze catches the light at certain angles.
I've tried to show the crazing as clearly as possible in the photographs, so please zoom in and look carefully at all the images before purchasing.
As each heart is individually hand painted, little variations in brushwork, colouring and expression are all part of its handmade character.
Perfectly imperfect, although I suspect this Springer is far more interested in whether you've brought a tennis ball. 😂🐾
